Doctor Who wrote this?
I kid.
That's been a weird slow transition over the years. They became egg-laying reptilians sometime during 1st Edition, so they haven't been canine for a long time, but were still described as having some "dog-like" features right up into late 2nd edition.
The dragon connection came about in 3rd edition and wasn't a delusion. They actually were related to dragons.

Heh. That was literally my first thought when I read the blurb. Nice. (My second thought was "finally, Kobolds").

Awesome! I already have Kobolds as a full race in my campaign, but it's nice to see them getting some love here!
Wow, I didn't the scaly little cusses were popular enough to merit a Player Companion. But it'll be amusing to see what's done with them in this.
Hopefully we will get an interesting origin story for these guys.

Half (or even most of) the fun was the module 'We Be Goblins', though. So please will there be a kobold module to go with this?
Sweet this will be a happy addition to my collection

Freaking finally. Do you have any idea of how long I've waited for this?!

Thanks for the reply. Yeah looking at my first edition books shows the Kobolds to be reptilian.
I remember the bit of lore that kobolds were related to dragons that was added in third edition.
guess it never sat right with me. It never made sense to me. What use would a kobold be to a
dragon as anything other then a kobold "mc nugget".
I believe that is how many dragons view them.

Two words:
Infinite Lackeys
Kobolds are scary trapsmiths if used correctly & what Dragon worthy of the name doesn't have a horde they want protected.

We have two playing in our Kingmaker campaign right now. See the above poster.

Kobolds! I love kobolds! I remember playing a silver dragonwrought kobold scout in an Eberron campaign. The scout class plus a flyby attack was awesome.
I hope this product includes some tips/options on upping their power level. They are currently the weakest of the "player friendly" choices. The only way they were playable in 3.5 was because of the dragonwrought feats.

I dearly hope that Paizo's FRPGD offering for 2013 is an all-Kobold scenario by Sir Pett!
Aha! Anything vaguely devilboxish would be a joy to work on, and those lovely paizo folks know I'd be delighted. I'm still humbled by we be goblins doing so well after having to take care of James' children so carefully.
Huzzah!
+2 to We be Kobolds.
I dearly hope that Paizo's FRPGD offering for 2013 is an all-Kobold scenario by Sir Pett!I totally heard that it's going to be My Little Bonies, a scenario where everyone plays undead magical ponies.
This so needs to happen...

So help me, I would buy this. Then again, I'd buy Ponyfinder.

iconic kobold coming?
We didn't really get an iconic goblin or orc or tiefling or aasimar with their respective 'Foo of Golarion' books, so I suspect not.
Although it would be cool. I don't recall a 'name' kobold since Meepo.
Not My Little Necrobronies, where you play undead men who are in love with undead magical ponies?
That will be in 'Kinks of Golarion,' for the mature Kinkfinder line, which has been pushed back to the fifth quarter.
I'm intrigued to see how a <Creatures> of Golarion book will fit in with the new format. Anyone in the know got some hints for us?

I am intrigued somewhat as to what or who kobolds in Golarion generally worship. Classic Monsters Revisited suggested Asmodeus, for some (a subset of a subset, anyway), but I didn't really 'feel' that connection.
Dahak is a bit chaotic for such a lawful race. The other 'common' LE god, Zon-Kuthon also has an odd vibe, for kobolds. Devotion to Achaekek and kobolds, from the mention of their interactions on Mediogalti, don't seem to mix together well.
Perhaps one or more of the other Archdevils could sub in, with some preferring Mammon, Geryon, Dispater or Moloch, but none of them really scream 'kobold god!'
There are a few demon lords that seem more appropriate (Andirifkhu, in particular), but demon lords seem to be more likely to have chaotic followers (like boggards, troglodytes, gargoyles, trolls, werewolves, etc.), than lawful ones.
While I generally prefer using pre-existing gods, rather than having different racial dieties, this might be a case where the pre-existing crop of gods doesn't particularly suit this race/culture.

Well, there are Char, Black Tail, Ghost, Klikjack, and Dractus in the Forgotten King's Tomb (released this week). That's 5 somewhat-iconic kobold PCs.
Seriously, if FKT doesn't tide you over until the Kobolds in Golarion release, I don't know what will.

We kinda do have iconic goblins with We be Goblins.
I would like to see the iconic goblins as miniatures
+1 for a We Be Kobolds module! :)
